Maybe you can install the original if you can get it then attempt to install the update and see if that helps. Or just put one test app in the market, download it. Then update app in market and see if you can reproduce the problem.

I read it (it's a short story), and the next day I got an update. I installed it curious to see what was updated (was the reader itself). I ran it. It crashed IMMEDIATELY after launch before showing any UI. I then uninstalled it, and re-installed it, and it started and worked flawlessly. I'm betting my ass that when Android updates an application it @#$%s up something, e.g. permissions (damn me for NOT launching Eclipse when this happened to see what exactly was the crash) and the app would F/C. After a reinstall, everything works just fine. What I described is what can be seen on MANY (and list is growing) number of applications' descriptions on Android Market (that is "please, uninstall before update"). I *do* believe people make bugs (and so do I), and that there are some very poorly developed apps on Market, but this *particular* crash immediately after an update is a Google bug. I know it. I KNOW it. I @#$%ING KNOW IT! I'm just waiting for it to happen again with another app, and me having Eclipse around.

On Android, the foreground app shouldn't be FC'ed if there are lots of background activities.

I would love to report that as inaccurate, because that is just not spam.

It has gotten better than it used to be, though, I think the "Report as Spam" option has made an impact. You're not going to get people to change the way they express themselves about how they feel about your app, though. YouTube has played with their comment system numerous times, but the comment threads are still a gutter. It's just the audience and the culture. Blocking out basic curse words just goads people to get around the filter. Like I said though, I think it's improved, I'm not seeing the same level of vindictiveness and bile that was there in the winter. It's just going to take some more time, and it's going to have to come from the community. -- Eric On Wed, Apr 8, 2009 at 10:47 AM, Ivan Soto <[email protected]> wrote: And yet no word from Google. Although, I can say that I've seen some kind of moderation. (I guess) I haven't seen a lot of comments like "your app rocks. 5 starss... contact me [email protected]" Which was a big issue before. Still, it needs a lot of improvement.

Ideally, there would be a "Report Abuse" button that acts similar to the spam feature, and in both cases if a Google account is reported a number of times it is reviewed by market support for inappropriate activity (I'm not sure if this is already the case for the spam feature). If a malicious user starts picking on another by reporting all their comments, the data from this can be used to review the reporter's account instead... People abusing the system should get a warning followed by a ban on the market, or some similar course of action. Of course, if this is too much to implement, an auto-filter should definitely be considered as an alternative. There are lots of reports requesting this in the market forum.

I'm amazed there isn't an auto-filter going on - it would be easy to catch obvious swear words like the ones you quote above. When I've seen abusive comments, the poster usually tries to disguise the swear words by changing a letter or by using asterisks instead, because of fear of being moderated I guess. But it looks like the moderating is not happening at all.

What a waste sherelle 2009-04-08 04:00:44" As a developer, I would like to know when is Google going to start moderating such illiterate and ignorant people from commenting on an issue developer has no control. At least, the curse words should be removed or 'moderated' for keeping the developer community sane. Keep in mind, in the long run its the developers and their application that will eventually sell and market android platform. As a developer, all ignorant and abusive comments are least productive. Also Google's inaction in removing abusive comments are totally unacceptable. As a developer, I request Google to take immediate action by removing comments which are abusive or totally remove commenting but keep the star rating until Google provides a complete solution. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
